I am curious why this wasn't just an app. What's the point of having a physical button other than for aesthetic gratification? If you had an app, it'd be more than just one click, but it'd only be like three "clicks" or steps. You'd have to unlock your phone, open the app, and click a button. Three steps instead of one. Not sure if that warrants a physical button.
Edit: I get why pressing a physical button is therapeutic, but even an app could play some audio when you pressed the button. These people are pretty pissed off when they click these buttons, because nobody is happy when they're complaining about noise pollution. An app could even play a voice-acted "fuck you, <name of airport>" when you click the button in the app. There are about 15,000 airports in the US. You could pay 150 people $10 each to say "fuck you <airport_i>" in an angry, cathartic voice. Each person would only have to say 100 lines.
It seems like a lot of users are clicking that button dozens of times a day. I suppose they might consider the extra convenience worth it, particularly at night.
